Hi Jim,

Thanks-- I just looked at using a filter as a solution, but there seems to be a problem. I want the servlet in webapp A to be able to dispatch to B but not a user. The problem is the filter will block all requests including the dispatch from A. I need a way to somehow ensure that A can invoke servlet B in web app B but not a user navigating directly... any ideas are greatly appreciated. Actually one question would be how to create a filter that allows incoming requests from that same machine but not IP's outside of it I guess?

  Thanks, Jason

Subject: how do i restrict servlet access?



Hi,

   I have a webapp A that uses cross-context to dispatch requests to
webapp B. However, I want users to have to go thru webapp A and the
mapping I set in web.xml. How do I restrict access so only webapp A can
invoke B's servlet but B should be inaccessible to users navigation. Is
there something I can set in the web.xml of B or would I need to modify
server.xml as a site wide configuration?

   Thanks, Jason
